1. Scope
This instruction manual applies to the LCD Signature tablet STU-500B.
2. Summary
The Wacom® STU-500B LCD signature tablet combines the benefi ts of a liquid crystaldisplay (LCD) with
the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom’s cordless, batteryfree pen technology. This gives you a
direct pen-on-screen interface that leads to a truer pen-on-paper writing experience.
The basic components of the LCD signature tablet include a Wacom pen tablet internally mounted behind a
5" diagonal TFT monochrome LCD display, and a Wacom pen.
The LCD signature tablet is equipped with a USB and RS-232C interfaces.

Handling
WARNING
If using a power adapter with the STU-500B, only use the power adapter (Serial kit FUZ-A147) that
designed for use with the STU-500B.
If a different type of power adapter is used, the LCD signature tablet will not work properly or may be
damaged. Using a different type of power adapter also has the potential to result in fi re. Use of a different
power adapter will void your warranty.
When not using the LCD signature tablet for long periods of time, unplug the power adapter from the AC
outlet.
WARNING
High Voltage. Do not open or disassemble the STU-500B LCD signature tablet.
There is a risk of electrical shock when the casing is open. This will also void your warranty and
Wacom shall have no responsibility to repair or replace the product.
If the LCD screen has been damaged, DO NOT touch any liquid that may be leaking from it; this liquid
is an irritant. In case of contact with skin, eyes, or mouth,
rinse immediately with running water for at least 15 minutes or more. If contact is made with the eyes or
mouth, also consult a physician.
Prevent children from swallowing the pen tip. The pen tip may accidentally be pulled out if children are
biting on them.
CAUTION
Do not disassemble the pen. This may cause the device to malfunction. In this case, Wacom shall have
no responsibility to repair or replace the product.
Do not scratch the display screen. Avoid placing sharp objects on the display screen surface.
Avoid intensive shock or vibration to the STU-500B or the pen. Hitting or dropping the LCD signature
tablet may damage the display screen or other components.
Do not put heavy articles on the LCD signature tablet or push against it with a strong force; This may
damage the display screen.
Do not place heavy articles on the STU-500B cabling, repeatedly bend the cables sharply, or apply
heavy stress to the cable connectors; this may damage the unit or cabling.
If the pen tip becomes sharp or angular, it may damage the coating on the display screen. Please
replace the pen tip if necessary.
Do not use any organic solvent (e.g., alcohol) or even mild detergent to clean the display screen.
Use of these cleaners can damage the coating on the screen.
Please note that damage of this kind is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
To clean the display screen, use an anti-static cloth or a slightly damp cloth. When cleaning, apply only
a light amount of pressure to the display screen and do not make the surface wet.
To clean the LCD signature tablet casing or pen, use a soft cloth with mild detergent (such as dish
washing liquid) diluted with water.
Do not expose the STU-500B to high voltage electrostatic discharges or to a build-up of an
electrostatic charge on the LCD screen. This may result in a temporary blotching of the LCD monitor. If

4. Cautions for using STU-500B
Connecting the tablet
The STU-500B can be connected to a host computer via a USB or serial cable. However, do not connect
both USB and serial cables simultaneously.
Power supply
The STU-500B is designed to be powered by your computer's USB port. In most cases, the USB cable will
provide sufficient power to operate the STU-500, but in some cases the optional AC adapter power supply
may need to be attached to the STU-500B.
For example, when devices other than the STU-500B are connected, the host computer may not provide
sufficient power. In that case, connect and use the optional AC adapter. Also, when you connect this unit
with the host computer via a serial cable, the optional AC adapter is required.
Replacing the pen tip
The pen tip (nib) can wear with normal use. In the unlikely case that the nib gets too short or develops a
sharp edge, you can replace it with spare nibs. For replacement please refer chapter 8.
USB connection with AC adaptor
The STU-500B detects power supply from USB bus or AC adaptor automatically. In case USB connection
with power supply from AC adaptor, please disconnect all cable from STU-500B first.
Then please connect AC adaptor to STU-500B. After AC adaptor connection, please connect USB cable.
If USB is connected first, possibly STU-500B miss detect power supply. In this case please disconnect all
cable from STU-500B and reconnect AC adaptor first.
USB connection through the USB HUB
In case USB connection through the USB HUB, please use the HUB which is powered by AC adaptor.
The USB bus powered HUB doesn’t supply power to STU-500B.
LCD
Each STU-500B LCD panel is produced under very stringent quality standards. Production techniques
cannot guarantee an absolutely perfect TFT display. A small number of pixels to be always white or always
black are allowed. This does not mean the display is defective.

8. Replacing the pen tip
The pen tip (nib) can wear with normal use. In the unlikely case that the nib gets too short or develops a
sharp edge, you can replace it with spare nibs.
WARNING
Prevent children from swallowing the pen tip. The pen tip (nib) may accidentally be pulled out if children
are biting on them.
In the unlikely case a nib becomes angular due to wear off, it may damage the coating on the STU-500B
display screen. To avoid any damage, nib replacement is recommended in this case.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen tray, the pen storage compartment, or lay it flat on
your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the tool in a container where it will rest on its
tip.
To remove the old nib:
Clasp it with a pair of tweezers, needle-nosed
plier, or similar instrument and pull the old nib
straight out of the pen.
To insert a new nib:
Slide it straight into the barrel of the pen.
Firmly push the nib until it stops. The new nib
will slide into the correct position.
